Does anyone know if the stanard J spec front indicators will be a direct fit in a Veilside C2 front bumper please ? Thanks in advance. :)

Hi people, I'm breaking my 300zx and have been called rear discs and calipers by a 200sx owner. There are some more parts he is after which I'm having difficulty with as I don't know what and where they are. He is asking for: - Parking Brake Assembly, Shoes, Backing Plate and Nut And springs etc. I just wanted to know if these bits would be found altogether behind the discs or where. Any help would be appreciated. :) Thanks

Ive got 2 60m hks gauges to fit i dont want to fit a A pillar gauge pod holder or stereo din panel any other ideas where to fit gauges .I like the abflug [replica]stlye dash surround but it seems to be avalible in 52mm only has anybody fitted 60s in these pods i think the zed centre sell them any pics thanks taff.

Looking to get some gauges (4 in total) Boost oil pressure an dwater temp are the main ones but what else would ppl recomend? oil temp? water pressure? Also who's m gauges have you got? Defi are a well known brand as are blitz, what would you reccomend? and where would you get them from? Cheers Neil

Finally got round to fitting them :dance: There the JAPSPEED ones sold on ebay by 2Fast2Cool , nice quality and had no fitment issues at all. Managad to give it some welly on the way home , you can certainly feel the difference , power comes on stronger and lower down than before , just feels alot livelier :nana2: :nana2: Would reccomend them. The worse part is removing the original downpipes and elbows off the tubs , had to heat the downpipe bolts red hot before they,d budge and you need hands like a 5 year old to get to the top nuts on the elbows , but after lots of skin loss and swearing i managed it :dance: Only problem now is it,s smoking like a train , i…

I have Apexi AVCR & SAFC controllers fitted, my boost is currently running at 0.7 and a half bar. I want to raise this to 1 bar, but don't know how to do it!?! The controllers were fitted when I bought the car. Can anyone help, I have looked at the Apexi instructions online, but can't make head nor tail of them!!! May be just me (thick), but just looking at them on there, seems VERY complicated for a novice!!!!

what do you thing any good to us ?? wil they fit directly on original manifold?? http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2871R_472560_15.htm

What's the biggest front brake disks you can get behind stock wheels for an upgrade, obviously not massive, or would just new disks and pads do ? CheerZ Paul

Did the zed come with 3 types of standard factory spoiler what did the second one look like .I dont mean the 99 spec one or the flat uk one and has anyone got any pictures please .thanks taff.

Just turning into Coldhabour Lane where the Nados was. Only got a quick look at the upper rear just as you was turning so no idea if it was a UK or a Jap spec car.

Hey guys, Just put on my new discs and pads ad serviced the calipers. When i took the brakes off by the way, I pinched the squishy brake pipe so no air can get in. The callipers have squeezed the pads back on to the disc but when the pedal is left for a few moments it will go straight to the floor with not much difficulty, but when pumped it gets normal pressure. Any ideas? Rich

hi got to get my rear fog light fitted for the dredded mot.i want to use the front fog switch but dont know which wire to splice into can anyone help

see you every morning drive pass, i park up in my lorry waiting to go into the city, :)

hi peeps,can anyone tell me the best oil to use on my Z???,am using at mo 15/40 semi magnatech,hav read the debates about this,some say castrol rs,some say semi and some say full synthetic,was looking at duckems [cant spell it] 20\50 mineral today,an original oil for older engines,any feed back on this issue wood be appreciated,many thanks in advance

well it looks like i might be selling up and getting out of the zed game so to speak, just not sure which way to go just yet as my car at the mo is kind of stripped for a respray so i dont know weather to finish it off and sell or break it. i've just lost faith in the whole zed scene with whats been going on here lately, and on top of that the problems i've been having getting my car sorted, the guy working on it (who's a mate) has had a bad year fooked his back up, then last week had a heart attack so my car wont even be touched now till after xmas,so with all that i've just lost interest in the whole zed thing i'll post up with what i decide to do weather break or sell…

F'kin everywhere! :rofl: ;)

anybody running gt525s on their zed.ive ordered a pair after much debate and wondered what rwhp i should acheive with 555s,intercooler upgrade,dump pipes and decats.??

300 TT auto, I gather when I floor the old beast, the power light to the left of the o/d light should illuminate. Is this correct? Also while driving away from a traffic light sensibly, it came on for approx 1/4 mile........why? Does it indicate some other fault? To get rid of the light i had to engage 'N' and then put back in 'D'. The rest of the drive home 7 miles it did not come on again. Any answers greatfully received......thanks.

Hi Guys I just wondered, how many of you have followed this guide and changed your fluid this way: http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/PICS/autoTrannyOilChange/autoTrannyOilChange.html And how many of you just use the drain bolt and fill up from there. Cheers and Beers :)
